Feature Fusion Transferability Aware Transformer For Unsupervised Domain Adaptation, Xiaowei Yu, Zhe Huang, Zao Zhang
Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works
Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) aims to leverage the knowledge learned from labeled source domains to improve performance on the unlabeled target domains. While Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been dominant in previous UDA methods, recent research has shown promise in applying Vision Transformers (ViTs) to this task. In this study, we propose a novel Feature Fusion Transferability Aware Transformer (FFTAT) to enhance ViT performance in UDA tasks. Our method introduces two key innovations: First, we introduce a patch discriminator to evaluate the transferability of patches, generating a transferability matrix. We integrate this matrix into self-attention, directing the model to focus …

White matter (WM) serves as a fundamental component of the brain providing essential structural support and facilitating the brain cognitive processes. Thus, an accurate and efficient description of the brain's white matter structure is essential for understanding brain function connectivity and development. In this work we used the deep model to combine the information of the WM fiber bundle shape and its related cortical folding patterns together representing the WM fiber bundle from diffusion MRI tractography into a pre-defined low-dimensional space and generate the numerical representation vector. This cortical-aware vector-quantized variational encoder (CA-VQVAE) framework leverages cortical locations and folding patterns …

Dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is an advanced technique for capturing the dynamic changes of neural activities and can be very useful in the studies of brain diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Yet, existing studies have not fully leveraged the sequential information embedded within dFC that can potentially provide valuable information when identifying brain conditions. In this paper, we propose a novel framework that jointly learns the embedding of both spatial and temporal information within dFC based on the transformer architecture. Specifically, we first construct dFC networks from rs-fMRI data through a sliding …

Echocardiography (ECHO) is essential for cardiac assessments, but its video quality and interpretation heavily rely on manual expertise, leading to inconsistent results from clinical and portable devices. ECHO video generation offers a solution by improving automated monitoring through synthetic data and generating high-quality videos from routine health data. However, existing models often face high computational costs, slow inference, and rely on complex conditional prompts that require experts' annotations. To address these challenges, we propose ECHOPulse, an ECG-conditioned ECHO video generation model. ECHOPulse introduces two key advancements: (1) it accelerates ECHO video generation by leveraging VQ-VAE tokenization and masked visual token …

Smart interconnected factories allow manufacturing units from physically distanced factory sites to communicate classified information needed for additive manufacturing. Each factory has interconnected digital twins of their equipment autonomously managed by a Point-of-Contact digital twin creating a hierarchical system with federated digital twins. The data sharing between the factories must be directed through an edge node responsible for managing multiple factories. We proposed a novel lightweight protocol to prevent the leakage of classified information at any nodes other than the origin and destination digital twins. It leverages elliptic curve cryptography to design a proxy re-encryption scheme with the edge node …

Serverless computing abstracts server management, enabling developers to focus on application logic while benefiting from automatic scaling and pay-per-use pricing. However, dynamic workloads pose challenges in resource allocation and response time optimization. Response time is a critical performance metric in serverless environments, especially for latency-sensitive applications, where inefficient scheduling can degrade user experience and system efficiency. This paper proposes RUSH (Rule-based Scheduling for Low-Latency Serverless Computing), a lightweight and adaptive scheduling framework designed to reduce cold starts and execution delays. RUSH employs a set of predefined rules that consider system state, resource availability, and timeout thresholds to make proactive, latency-Aware …

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works
To empower precision agriculture through distributed machine learning (DML), split learning (SL) has emerged as a promising paradigm, partitioning deep neural networks (DNNs) between edge devices and servers to reduce computational burdens and preserve data privacy. However, conventional SL frameworks' one-split-fits-all strategy is a critical limitation in agricultural ecosystems where edge insect monitoring devices exhibit vast heterogeneity in computational power, energy constraints, and connectivity. This leads to straggler bottlenecks, inefficient resource utilization, and compromised model performance. Bridging this gap, we introduce ReinDSplit, a novel reinforcement learning (RL)-driven framework that dynamically tailors DNN split points for each device, optimizing efficiency without …

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works
With continuous growth of IoT applications, service failures are quite inevitable. Due to the complexity and dynamics of IoT services, the root cause analysis (RCA) following an alert can assist in quickly resolving the possible faults. However, the time scales of metrics (e.g., CPU utilization, memory usage) generated by microservices and the dynamic topologies generated by calls between the Application Program Interfaces (APIs) are different. Moreover, the status of devices is an important aspect of RCA in IoT. All these make it extremely challenging to learn failure features of microservice metrics and API calls. Therefore, we propose a novel framework …

Mobility introduces significant challenges for optimal computation offloading, latency minimization, and efficient re source utilization in multi-access edge computing (MEC) systems. A key difficulty lies in leveraging real user trajectories to jointly optimize horizontal (inter-edge) and vertical (edge-to-cloud) task offloading decisions. This paper proposes a two-dimensional offloading scheme for a multi-layer edge–cloud architecture that enables collaborative task execution among resource-constrained edge nodes under mobility conditions. We present MGCO (Mobility-Aware Generative Computation Offloading), a generative AI–driven Transformer-based sequence-to-sequence Deep Q-Network (s2s-DQN) framework that learns from real-time trajectory data to anticipate user movement and optimize task placement dynamically. The Transformer architecture is …

We present a novel class of content subversion attacks against information-based services, causing documents to appear to humans dissimilar to the underlying content extracted by information-based services. We demonstrate the significant impact of these attacks on real-world systems through five distinct variants. Our first attack allows academic paper writers and reviewers to collude via subverting the automatic reviewer assignment systems in current use by academic conferences including INFOCOM, which we reproduced. Our second attack renders ineffective plagiarism detection software, particularly Turnitin, targeting specific small plagiarism similarity scores to appear natural and evade detection. In our third attack, we place masked …

Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across distributed clients while preserving data privacy, but its deployment on resource-constrained devices is hindered by high communication overhead, inefficient energy usage, and poor convergence under non-IID data distributions. To address these challenges, we propose GRACE-FL: a Green Resource-Aware Communication-Efficient Federated Learning framework that explicitly incorporates device energy capacity into training. Each client adapts its learning rate, number of local epochs, and gradient quantization bit-width based on its available energy, allowing high-capacity devices to sustain more intensive training while low-capacity devices operate with lighter configurations. A novel energy-weighted aggregation strategy ensures that clients …

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works
Collision hazard detection in industrial work zones faces challenges from signal instability, mobility-induced fluctuations, and nonline-of-sight (NLOS) conditions. While Bluetooth low energy (BLE) offers cost-effective proximity sensing, its received signal strength indicator (RSSI) variability - fluctuating by ±10 dBm even at fixed distances - limits reliability in safety-critical applications. This article presents AlertBLE, a hybrid BLE-based hazard detection system that combines extended Kalman filter (EKF) and adaptive moving average (AMA) algorithms to achieve up to 94% RSSI variance reduction in static NLOS conditions. The system introduces speed-aware safety thresholds based on reaction time and braking distance models, dynamically expanding hazard …

Mechanisms governing MAX-phase etching set the properties and stability of resulting MXenes, yet the details of this complex process remain poorly understood. Combining thermodynamic analysis of surface chemistries with ab initio molecular dynamics and enhanced free-energy sampling, we directly model elementary steps at the MAX/etching solution interface. We find that purely thermodynamic analysis overestimates etching selectivity, which is governed by the kinetics of elementary reaction steps. Our calculations reveal that initial exposure to water drives localized, thermodynamically favored edge oxidation that seeds MXene-like terminations into the uppermost layers of Ti3AlC2 with oxygen occupying the interlayer space between …

This study explores multi-phase (i.e., liquid-gas) and multi-fluid (i.e., air-water, and water-silicone oil) flow-pattern and flow-blockage physics phenomena for wall wettability conditions ranging from superhydrophilic to superhydrophobic cases in sealed vessels utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation tools and volume-of-fluid (VOF) method with sharp interface modeling. Detailed modeling and simulation (M&S) of such physics phenomena—in which liquid (e.g., water) stands over top of gas (e.g., air or steam) in a closed channel and exhibited flow blockage, flow reversal related challenges—are pivotal for design, analysis, and qualification of component-level (e.g., heat pipes, heat exchangers) to system-level (e.g., emergency core cooling systems …

Interfaces play a critical role in modern structures, where integrating multiple materials and components is essential to achieve specific functions. Enhancing the mechanical performance of these interfaces, particularly their resistance to delamination, is essential to enable extremely lightweight designs and improve energy efficiency. Improving toughness (or increasing energy dissipation during delamination) has traditionally involved modifying materials to navigate the well-known strength-toughness trade-off. However, a more effective strategy involves promoting non-local or extrinsic energy dissipation. This approach encompasses complex degradation phenomena that extend beyond the crack tip, such as long-range bridging, crack fragmentation, and ligament formation. This work explores this innovative …

Utility Of Immobilized Metal Salens As Electrocatalysts: Fuel Cells And Organic Electrosynthesis, Zachary A. Nguyen, Shelley D. Minteer
Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works
There have been significant advancements in the electrosynthesis of fuels and organic molecules, making it an increasingly sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional chemical redox reagents. Early versions of these systems faced challenges in chemo selectivity due to high applied overpotentials, which have been mitigated with the introduction of molecular electrocatalysts, like metal salens (MSalens). These MSalens reduce the required overpotentials, increase turnover numbers (TON), and have simple modularity within their ligand structure allowing for tunable selectivity. While these MSalen electrocatalysts are typically used homogeneously for engineering simplicity, downstream separations are often costly and time-consuming. Immobilization of MSalens addresses these …

Direct reciprocity is a wide-spread mechanism for the evolution of cooperation. In repeated interactions, players can condition their behavior on previous outcomes. A well-known approach is given by reactive strategies, which respond to the coplayer's previous move. Here, we extend reactive strategies to longer memories. A reactive-n strategy takes into account the sequence of the last n moves of the coplayer. A reactive-n counting strategy responds to how often the coplayer cooperated during the last n rounds. We derive an algorithm to identify the partner strategies within these strategy sets. Partner strategies are those that ensure mutual cooperation without exploitation. …

Hot spots are formed when energetic microstructures are shocked, and they play a critical role in shock sensitivity. It is important to know both the time-dependent size and temperature of the hot spots, in order to generate a kinetic model to describe reaction growth in plastic-bonded explosives (PBX). Here we use a recently developed technique where PBX is fabricated in the form of a thin wafer, embedded within a transparent polymer binder, and shocked with a laser-launched flyer plate that produces pressures of about 30 GPa range. In this method, every crystal of the cyclotetramethylene-tetranitramine (HMX)-based PBX can be observed …

Research about multiple positive solutions for fractional differential equations is very important. Based on some outstanding results reported in this field, this paper continues the focus on this topic. By using the properties of the Green function and generalized Avery–Henderson fixed point theorem, we derive three positive solutions of a class of fractional differential equations with a p-Laplacian operator. We also study the nonexistence of positive solutions to the eigenvalue problem of the equation. Three examples are given to illustrate our main result.

In this paper, we develop a new reduced basis (RB) method, named as Single Eigenvalue Acceleration Method (SEAM), for second order parabolic equations with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The high-fidelity numerical method adopts the backward Euler scheme and conforming simplicial finite elements for the temporal and spatial discretizations, respectively. Under the assumption that the time step size is sufficiently small, and time steps are not very large, we show that the singular value distribution of the high-fidelity solution matrix U is close to that of a rank one matrix. We select the eigenfunction associated to the principal eigenvalue of the …
